Look at accommodation in Jomtiem it's the more layed back part of Pattaya only 10 mins on a 10bht bus into the center of Pattaya

Just came back from Vietnam filled in the tdac before I arrived got an instant reply by email ,obviously done ve a computer not a person.

My only problem was I put Nationality as British overseas territory and the immigration person couldn't find it on their computers took a few minutes and they found my mistake let me through ok told me not to do it again.

My phone has 2 sims Thai and UK, I use lebara £4.50/month for UK just for 2 type verification banking and DTAC immortal sim for Thailand unlimited data for 6 months for upfront payment of 2500bht.

What's app will work off your Thai data but use your UK number.

Is this an April fools joke🤣

@Mark *********

the letter is called a certificate of residence you need it to register a car ,to get a driving license or open a bank account .

I got one and the bank still refused me ,got an agent to sort it in the end

The amount paid for a Thai house invested outside Thailand the interest will cover the rent easily

Rents in Thailand are very cheap tell her you will rent not buy,you will find out if she really loves you

@Graham *****

but you can get a 6 month 60 day TV so it does.you don't need the extensions until the end of your 6 months

Do you mean a tourist visa that you apply for or a visa exemption that you get when you arrive at the airport .

I came to Thailand on a 6 month tourist visa, I done one run to Cambodia stopped 1 night in Cambodia when returning the Thai immigration commented that I had only stay for 1 night but still let me into Thailand.

After the run to Cambodia I got a retirement visa,much easier.
